The Drunken Sailor? Thats the SU bar yes?

If so, then thats in the bottom of the building next door - the pub wil
stay AFAIK!

The building that may have the concrete block underground is the LRC (old
drill hall).


Big concrete block !


Indeed. Don't know if this plan is stil going ahead - I haven't heard that
it has been scrapped...

You a Chatham local then?

I challenge you to walk 10 miles in 85% humidity and 40C plus
temperatures anyway.

Walk?

Try jogging it carrying an inflated inner tube - no don't ask


Bet?

Surely it by the Medway, certainly wasn't floating the last time I was

tunnel....

Your comment :

" The hardest part was the 3" hole through the 2' wall"

refers. Someone else mentioned using mechanical handling to get the
60lb compressor mounted high on the outside wall.


Sure, it's not hanging up a picture, but certainly not
"substantial construction work and several specialist trades".
Most uk.d-i-yers do this kind of thing all the time.

As for getting the compressor up a ladder, I think two ladders
and two people would be sufficient.


No disrespect or criticism intended, I read your original informative
post with interest. The one I replied to by 666_ made a series of
unsupportable comments about ceiling fans.


No offence taken - but I've been there with fans, and they are
better than nothing, and can be adequate if the insulation and
light input are ok, but it just isn't the same as aircon.
Nothing feels quite as nice as walking into an air conditioned
room on a hot summers day.

I have farming relatives in Somerset, and I get the same effect walking
into that place - no aircon, the walls are 3 feet thick and the south-
west elevation has covered by a well-trained peach tree. This prevents
direct sunlight hitting the walls.
Remember the landrover trick of fitting a double-skinned roof to
vehicles destined for the tropics.
